Sun, Sea and Surfboards – Ilfracombe Nursing Home’s Summer Garden Party

Edenmore Nursing Home recently celebrated the warm weather with a summer garden party, complete with inflatable instruments, a colourful array of decorations and a hula skirt or 2! The North Devon nursing home, close to the seaside, involved the residents (known as family members) and their families, as well as inviting the community to join the festivities

The Ilfracombe Nursing Home hosted the beachboys themed garden party in the outdoor space in front of the home, with team members spending the morning decorating it with flags, balloons, wetsuits and surfboards (before adorning their best Hawaii outfits) for family members to be surprised when the party started in the afternoon! As well as being treated to mocktails under parasols, there was inflatable limbo that some family members chose to join in with, all while enjoying the music from DJ Ricky.

Home Manager Gayle shared ‘we had an absolutely amazing afternoon, the weather, BBQ, DJ Ricky were fab, thank you to everyone who helped set up and celebrate with us!’

Edenmore offers a variety of activities for family members to join in with at their own pace, including painting, flower arranging, and light exercise classes, the summer garden party is just one example of these activities!
